As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and its ability to resist the effects of gravity. This often leads to sagging and creasing, particularly around the eyebrows and forehead. The result can be a tired appearance, making you look older than you feel. Fortunately, a forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, offers an effective cosmetic solution to these common signs of aging.
What is a Forehead Lift?
A forehead lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate your appearance by lifting sagging skin and smoothing wrinkles in the upper face. The procedure aims to treat aging issues around the forehead and eyebrows, providing a more youthful and refreshed look.
Is a Forehead Lift Right for You?
You may be an ideal candidate for a forehead lift if you’ve experienced unwanted changes in the brow region, such as drooping or descending eyebrows, which can even cause skin sagging and hooding over the eyes. This procedure can also effectively tighten loose skin that contributes to:
- Wrinkles between the eyes
- Crow’s feet
- Deep horizontal creases across the forehead
The Procedure and Results
The technique generally involves making an incision along the hairline near the top of the forehead. Through this incision, excess skin can be removed, and the underlying tissues are lifted to smooth creases and elevate sagging areas. The resulting improvements from a brow lift typically last a significant period, often ranging from five to ten years, helping you maintain a refreshed and alert appearance.
